Mechanical Design Calculations Guide

The document outlines five engineering problems related to mechanical design, including calculations for rod and spigot diameters for a cotter joint under axial load, tie rod and pin diameters for a knuckle joint, maximum load capacity for a semi-elliptical leaf spring, dimensions and stresses for a screw jack, and stress analysis for a 'C' clamp frame. Each problem specifies parameters such as allowable stresses and dimensions to determine the required mechanical specifications. The document serves as an assignment for mechanical engineering students to apply principles of strength of materials and design.

Assignment-3

1. Find rod diameter and spigot diameter for cotter joint if axial load is 60 KN. τ = 75 N/mm2, σt =
75 N/mm2 and σc = 150 N/ mm2
2. 2 Two tie rods are to be connected by a knuckle joint to resist an axial pull of 20 kN. The
allowable stresses are: τ = 60 MPa, σt = 75 MPa. Find tie rod diameter and diameter of pin.
3. A semi elliptical leaf spring consists of two extra full length leaves and six graduated leaves
including the master leaf. The central distance between two eyes is 1 m. The width and
thickness of leaves are 50 mm and 7.5 mm respectively. The leaves are pre-stresses in such a
way that the maximum stress induced in the leaves is 350 MN/m^2. Find the maximum central
load that the spring can withstand.
4. The following data refer to a screw jack: Load to be raising P= 40 kN, Safe compressive stress in
screw = 90 N/mm^2, Pitch of single start square threads= 6 mm, allowable bearing pressure =
17.5 N/mm^2. Find Size of screw, height of nut and shear stress in the nut.
5. For frame of a ‘C’ clamp has rectangular cross section of 60 mm X 20 mm. A maximum clamping
load of 20 kN is acting at a distance of 60 mm from the inner edge of the frame. Find the
maximum and minimum stresses induced in the frame section.
